The North American Plate is moving away from the Eurasian Plate, forming the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Iceland offers a natural laboratory to scientists studying plate tectonics. Using what you know about plate tectonics, predict what boundary zone is occurring and two resulting features from the choices below.

Convergent boundary zone; long, narrow trenches; crustal deformations

Convergent boundary zone; submarine mountain ranges; mid-ocean ridges

Divergent boundary zone; volcanic activity; fissure zones

Transform boundary zone; earthquakes; fault lines

The answer is; Divergent boundary zone; volcanic activity; fissure zones

The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary. Such a boundary, that majorly occurs in ocean beds, is exhibited by signs of ocean-floor spreading. As the two plates move away from each other, the magma from the mantle rises to fill the void. Mountain ranges form along the boundary due to the numerous fissures between the two plates.
